Don’t take the short title too seriously; I could have said ‘encouraged’ instead of ‘enforced’, ‘rules’ instead of ‘habits’, whatever.
The point being, this is still a relatively small and young site where cultural change is possible. This opportunity doesn’t often come back. So, what culture do we want to have here?
Opening example: some sites require as a rule that a posted image must have a source or actor name given if it’s not OC. Myself, I sometimes intentionally avoid any compilation videos which don’t give sources, because I know it will take me down a hours-long rabbithole of discovery. Sourcing is already a global Community Guideline here, which is good to see.

This is SUCH a good one. It’s fine to not find something/someone hot, just move on with your life!
Take tgis as you will, since I block the image and video based C/s from this instance (I’m not against them, just don’t want them in my feed, and don’t have a use for them).
But, I think that those kind of C/s should have some kind of tag system that’s instance wide to make for easier filtering for the folks that do have a use for nudes and porn. Like, the obvious tags would be like M/F/TM/TF for the most common gender and genital type combos. Then have a few for the bigger kinks, like BDSM/BOND/EXTREME/CNC, or whatever would be useful over time. Those are just examples off the top of my head, not any kind of “these must be there, like that” type of thing.
Tags make any image and video community easier to navigate via apps that have such ability to filter, and afaik, searches can find them when they’re in [brackets]. So filtering in and out are both possible with the same system of tags.
Doesn’t even matter if C/s opt out of using them, so long as there’s an instance wide standard for formatting and whatever characters are used.
I think [tagging] would be good, even if it’s not currently supported on Lemmy.
Like my bio says, I love a good bunch of tags. Less commercialized communities like the drawn porn ones have a culture of using booru sites (Japanese for ‘board’), where posts don’t have titles but just have tags. If the board has a decent culture and uploaders tag half-decently, it’s an infinitely better experience to a tube site or a reddit-like aggregator where you just have clickbait titles competing and maybe a [M/F] tag if you’re lucky. On a high-quality booru, you can simply just search like
solo female facepaint -clown.My point being, that a site like this just isn’t ideal. Tagging will always be a coping mechanism. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done, but it’s an uphill battle. Even on some video tube sites I’ve seen with a tagging system at its very core, it’s neglected to the point that it’s worthless even for basic fetishes. Here, you’d need an automoderator or a dedicated moderator to enforce basic sex tags in titles.

Mods can’t edit posts here, even to add things like the nsfw flag, so it would definitely need some strong moderation.
The admins of this site have added some basic mods onto the default Lemmy code (like nfsw-by-default), but I don’t think they’d want to develop tags as its own feature.

Trimming dead posts regularly.
NSFW communities have an interesting quirk which is that a large number of people sort by top all. If you find a new community, you want to find out what is the best it offers. You do this typically by sorta by top all.
However, with people deleting posts, or links breaking, top all is sometimes plagued with empty posts, and it can be frustrating trying to explore this new community, especially if it’s more niche.
I’d love some sort of verification for OC so at least we know if we are dealing with the actual person or some guy in a call center posting pics for 3 cents an hour
Posts must match the context of the community.
Like no topless posts wearing underpants in a pussy community for example.
Haven’t seen it get out of control here yet, but it’s madly out of control at Reddit with mods actively not caring about it.
Why have categories if posters are going to ignore them.
Go back to Reddit it you want censorship.
(I’m just joking guys, I know censorship here is just as bad.)
Hah, there’s always a time and place for chaos, but there’s also power and convenience in having a useful consistent format and metadata.
And that’s not censorship - the only suggestion so far which actually would restrict expression is the “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it” one. The rest are just saying “please add this extra information ([M/F] tags, sources)” which is almost the opposite of censorship, or removing obsolete dead links.
Anarchy!
